Chapter 125: The Children of the Fool (I)
Jinling, it's a noisy city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At night, the lively and noisy atmosphere of Jinling reached its peak.
Forget the building, there is never a shortage of business here. Because here, people can unload their usual hypocrisy, take off the mask on their faces, and enjoy the carnival and get drunk.
It seems that everyone who comes to Xiangwanglou is just to get drunk and forget. It seems that they have no other agenda, let alone any other purpose.
It is precisely because there is something on the mind that you have to buy drunk. Getting drunk has become the only purpose for them to come to Xiangwanglou.
Xiangfu Building allows everyone who comes here to forget their worries for a while.
This is a place to relieve the worries of everyone who comes here to buy drunk, but the people who forget the building itself always seem to have too many worries that cannot be resolved.
Most of the candles in the room had burned out, and only a little remnant of heart was still floating in the candle tears. However, although the candle flame was almost burned out, the owner did not seem to have any intention of adding new candles, so the light of the whole room gradually dimmed.
Compared with the brightly lit courtyards outside, this place is really a bit out of place with the layout of the Xiangwang Building.
However, this is the residence of Lin Yuhan, the only daughter of the owner of Xiangwang Building.
The dim light is just like Lin Yuhan's gloomy mood. At this moment, there was a wedding card on the table in front of her, but in her eyes, this wedding card was so dazzling - this was the wedding invitation of Luoxue Valley's wedding invitation.
Looking closely, this wedding card is very old at the moment, but this wedding card was bought by Kong Yanshu just a few days ago from a disciple who sent a letter from Luoxue Valley.
I don't know how much time has passed, but I remember that since she got the exact news of Yang Xiaofeng and Luo Qingxue's marriage, she locked herself in her room and sat quietly all day long. I rarely go out and walk, and I rarely even eat.
At this moment, her face was pale and godless, and her whole person looked very thin, her breath was weak, and her spirit was extremely poor.
This is another amorous woman, but who knows her affection?
Outside the door, someone seemed to sigh softly.
Lin Yuhan's eyes were glazed, he looked at the wedding card in front of him in a daze, stretched out his hand, took it in front of him, and gently opened it again.
She is already familiar with the content written in it, just because these days, she has read this wedding card countless times, and the post has almost been touched by her as a little old.
She hated it so much.
However, despite this, she couldn't help but open it again.
She read the post carefully and seriously from beginning to end again, only to feel at a loss in her heart, and her mind was extremely chaotic. It's like there is a person's shadow always dangling in front of him, and in the end, these shadows suddenly condensed into a clear figure, it was a man, his name was Yang Xiaofeng.
"Brother Yang's ......", Lin Yuhan muttered in a low voice, this name, I don't know when it started, has become her inner demon.
She thought about it stupidly, but she didn't notice it, and the wedding card in her hand slowly slid down, and fell to the ground with a "pop".
This suddenly startled her, and she went to pick it up, but her body staggered and almost fell.
Kong Yanshu outside the door finally couldn't help it, and eagerly pushed the door in, and subconsciously wanted to go to Fulin Yuhan with both hands. However, when his hand reached into the air, it paused abruptly, and then stiffly retracted it. After slowing down, he just asked with concern: "Holy Maiden, are you okay?"
"Who let you in......", Lin Yuhan was already a little angry, glared at Kong Yanshu coldly, and scolded: "Get me out immediately."
With just one glance, Kong Yanshu saw the sad look on Lin Yuhan's face, and there was endless sadness in her eyes.
At that moment, Kong Yanshu suddenly felt that his heart was already in pain, as if there was an invisible knife scraping in his heart.
But he endured it, endured the feeling of heartache like a knife, endured it no longer to see Lin Yuhan, and forcibly calmed himself down. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said respectfully: "What the saint is thinking in her heart, her subordinates understand, and her subordinates also know the bitterness in the saint's heart." However, the subordinates still hope that the saint can take care of her health."
"Go out ......", Lin Yuhan pointed to the door and shouted: "Get out immediately."
"That subordinate retreats", Kong Yanshu bowed and retreated.
"Wait a minute......", unexpectedly, Lin Yuhan suddenly stopped him again, and Kong Yanshu stopped immediately when he heard this.
Lin Yuhan tried his best to restrain himself from being softer, and said, "I want to go to Falling Snow Valley, I need you to arrange it."
"This is not appropriate......", a little pain flashed on Kong Yanshu's face, and said: "As a saint, you will ...... if you go to Falling Snow Valley."
"I know ...... this", Lin Yuhan immediately interrupted Kong Yanshu's words, and said decisively: "I don't want to enter the Falling Snow Valley in person, I just want to take a look at the periphery."
"That'...... Okay then", just listening to Lin Yuhan's tone, Kong Yanshu knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, and in fact, he could only comply.
Immediately, he stepped out of the door, and suddenly heard Lin Yuhan say: "I don't want my father to know about this matter."
"Yes, my subordinates understand", Kong Yanshu slowly walked out and closed the door again.
In the room, Lin Yuhan was the only one left.
A gust of wind blew, and the window paper rattled.
She moved to the window and saw that the wind was raging outside, and the sky was dark and cloudy.
"Is it going to change, but I don't know if it will rain or snow in this winter?"
Actually, her question sounds a little ridiculous, of course it will snow in winter, but Jinling is located in the south, and it is rainy in early winter.
"Hehe, I'm really a little self-deceived......", Lin Yuhan suddenly smiled bitterly again, and laughed at himself: "The wind in winter naturally brings snow." It's no wonder that we met in the wrong season, and at this moment, there is already snow around you, but I am still in vain."
What she said seemed a little difficult to understand, but what did it matter, as long as she understood it herself, because it was not meant to be said to others.
Outside the window, the cold wind was even colder.
Lin Yuhan gently closed the window, walked to the table again and sat down.
At this moment, a hearty pouring rain began outside.
"I didn't expect it to rain", Lin Yuhan muttered, got up, opened the door and walked outside.
In the courtyard, the rain is rapid, and the water on the eaves of the corridor is like a flying stream.
She stared blankly at the dark and rainy night, and for a moment she was completely stupid. The next moment, I couldn't help but reach out to pick it up, and at the place where I started, I only felt that the rain was mixed with a cold to the bone, as cold as snow.
Dark night, like lacquer......
It turns out that even though the wind brings heavy rain, in the heart of the wind, there is no temperature that belongs to the rain.
Acacia, hard ......
Ethereal Peak, in charge of teaching the study.
Duanmu Xuan's face was like ashes, and he looked at the invitation in his hand blankly.
Duanmu Jing stood in front of the window with his hands in his hand, his expression calm, and he was facing Duanmu Xuan with his back.
"Xuan'er, on the big day of the Falling Snow Valley this time, it's up to you to congratulate you", I don't know how long it took, Duanmu Jing finally turned around and looked at his nephew, and gave a faint order.
"I'm going to congratulate ......", Duanmu Xuan looked pained, and asked with a miserable smile: "Uncle, you let me go to Daohe"?
"Yes, you go to Daohe......", Duanmu Jing didn't seem to understand his nephew's mood at the moment, and said slowly: "Luoxue Valley is a martial arts family on the same level as our Ethereal Peak, this Luo Qingxue wedding, as a young master, it is most suitable for you to go to Daohe on behalf of our Ethereal Peak."
"Haha...... Hahaha...... , Luo Qingxue's wedding, it is most suitable for me to go to congratulate the young master sect as the representative of the Ethereal Peak, but ......", Duanmu Xuan laughed miserably for a long time as if he was in the middle of the evil spirit, and then said: "Yes, as a young master sect, the first thing I should consider is naturally the position of the Ethereal Peak, isn't it?"
A few traces of disappointment flashed on Duanmu Jing's face, but he made himself appear kinder, and asked slowly: "Why, are you unwilling, or are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"
"Dissatisfied, how dare I be dissatisfied with my uncle's arrangement......", although Duanmu Xuan said this, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Duanmu Jing with sharp eyes, and asked, "Why"?
Duanmu Jing felt a chill in his heart, he actually felt a trace of horror in Duanmu Xuan's eyes, and at that moment, his expression was cold, and he said slightly angrily: "What why?"
Duanmu Xuan said coldly: "Uncle Fei has forgotten, on the way back from the last trip to Luoxue Valley to propose relatives, you assured me that sooner or later, Luo Qingxue will be my woman." But now, you want me to congratulate Luo Qingxue on her wedding. So, I want to ask uncle, why is this"?
"Why ......", Duanmu Jing was silent for a while, and then said: "Life is unpredictable, the world is impermanent, there are always some things that are beyond human control, I promised you what, to put it bluntly, I am just a mortal, and naturally there are things that I can't control, so why should you be too serious."
"No......", Duanmu Xuan immediately retorted: "Since the previous fake treasure incident, I always feel that uncle, you are different from before, do you have something unspeakable?"
Duanmu Jing was slightly startled, and a few imperceptible different colors flashed in his eyes, but his face was quite calm, and he said slowly: "Gossip Huti, this matter is so decided, I have prepared your congratulatory gift for going to Falling Snow Valley this time, you go back and pack up and set off."
Duanmu Xuan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, his teeth were clenched, his eyes looked at Duanmu Jing helplessly, and there was a trace of crying in his voice, and said, "Uncle, but I ......."
It's just that before he could finish speaking, Duanmu Jing immediately interrupted him.
"Xuan'er ......", he waved his hand at Duanmu Xuan impatiently, and said, "There is no need to say anything about this matter. I'm tired, so you can go back first."
Duanmu Xuan's mouth was open, and the words that had not yet been spoken were held in his throat raw. His legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.
Duanmu Jing didn't seem to want to look at him anymore, turned around and looked outside, and said lightly: "Aren't you still leaving?"
Looking at his uncle's back, Duanmu Xuan was completely desperate this time, and after a long time, it seemed that he had used a lot of strength, so he struggled to get up, hung his head, and stumbled out.
"Xuan'er", suddenly, Duanmu Jing stopped him again.
Duanmu Xuan was ecstatic, immediately turned around, and asked excitedly: "Uncle, don't you want me to go to Luoxue Valley......?"
It's just that this time he was disappointed again, and only heard Duanmu Jing say lightly: "I think about it, this time I went to Luoxue Valley, and you alone may be inappropriate, so I specially asked Senior Brother Wuliang to arrange for Murong Yan to go with you."
Duanmu Xuan was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and the passion that had just been ignited was immediately extinguished again, and he nodded disheartenedly, and said, "Yes, nephew, remember."
After a pause, Duanmu Jing said again: "Murong Yan is one of the most outstanding disciples of my Ethereal Peak, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes is not inferior to yours, and this is Luo Qingxue's wedding, and it is most appropriate for your senior brothers and sisters to go to congratulate him." Besides, the girl is the most delicate, and the last time she was in Blackstone Mountain, she performed better than you. So, I hope that when I go to Falling Snow Valley this time, you can listen to her opinion more when you encounter something, you know?"
Duanmu Xuan nodded mechanically and said, "I wrote it down, if my uncle has no other instructions, I'll go back first."
He said as he walked slowly out. If you are careful, you will find that Duanmu Xuan is walking very hard at this moment, and every step he takes, it seems that he has exhausted the strength of his whole body.
Although it seemed that Duanmu Xuan was still calm, his legs were trembling slightly. The reason why he is so strong is because he doesn't want to show even a trace of helplessness in front of Duanmu Jing, if not, I'm afraid that he is already paralyzed to the ground by now.
At this moment, he just wanted to find a remote place, stay alone for a while, or even cry.
"Xuan'er ......", Duanmu Jing stopped him again, and finally instructed: "You remember, this time you go to Luoxue Valley, no matter what happens, don't act impulsively."
Duanmu Xuan's footsteps paused slightly, and then slowly walked out of the room. However, if he turned around, he would find that Duanmu Jing had a serious face this time, and what he said was extremely serious, or, there was a bit of extraneous sound.
