Year care

The murder of the disciple of Baiwu Temple came to an end.Many martial arts sects immediately decided to leave Huaijin overnight, swearing about Meng Yuanfeng and Meng Yang, what's more, even directly scolding Huaijincheng, saying that Huaijin is a filth. bad place.

The so-called wall is overthrown and pushed by everyone. Although Su Ziye had no contact with other monastic sects in Huaijin for a few days, he occasionally met them on the street a few times.At that time, everyone was boasting about the forthrightness of Master Meng, the generous view of Baiwu, and the pleasant scenery of Huaijin City.Now, if something goes wrong, thousands of people will scold them. I'm afraid that within a few days, there will be all kinds of rumors scolding the Meng family and his son in the rivers and lakes.

Su Ziye knew this feeling all too well, but he didn't want to care about anything anymore.The matter was all over, and the heartache of losing his father hit him immediately, and he was about to be cut open with a knife. There was a hole in his heart, and nothing could mend it.Gu Xianzong was standing beside him, looking straight at him, not moving or speaking.

After a while, Su Ziye said: "Gu Daochang, you don't have to follow me. You should go back to Xuanqingtai to return to your command."

Gu Xianzong still didn't move, and still didn't answer.

Su Ziye took a deep breath, and said again: "Master... I, I'm a little tired... And I'm really in a good mood... You go first, I'm afraid I will say something, and I will be rude to you."

After a moment of silence, Gu Xianzong said: "Didn't you just say, what Aye wants to do, I will accompany you to do it."

Su Ziye's brain is numb at the moment, he can't calm down to think about Gu Xianzong's meaning, he just feels that the person in front of him is pitying him, sympathizing with him, and wanting to comfort him.Su Ziye was a little angry again, he was angry with himself, angry with Jian Chun, angry with Baiwuguan, angry with Gu Xianzong, and even angry with God.

He turned around abruptly and ran towards the outside of the hall, running faster and faster.Gu Xianzong was only stunned for a moment, then got up and chased after him, but Su Ziye saw him chasing him, and unexpectedly mobilized his internal strength.Gu Xianzong was stunned and stopped, but at the next moment, he hit a wall of true energy in front of Su Ziye, blocking his steps.

Su Ziye only felt a burst of anger welling up in his heart, and turned around and shouted: "Gu Daochang, are you being too lenient! Why do you have to stop me! Do you have nothing to do at Xuanqingtai? You..."

Gu Xianzong stepped forward, pulled him into his arms suddenly, put his arms around him gently, and said, "My fault, I shouldn't have chased you. I shouldn't have said 'I want to stay with you', actually, I wanted to Let Aye stay with me."

"..."

Su Ziye remained silent for a long time, then he slowly raised his head, met Gu Xianzong's gaze, and said, "I'm sorry, Daoist Gu, I didn't mean it, I know I'm venting my anger on you, but I can't help it."

Gu Xianzong let him go, "I know, I don't blame you."

The two stood quietly for a while, Su Ziye said: "I'm so tired, let's go back to the inn." Gu Xianzong nodded as he said.

……

Upon returning to the room, Su Ziye took off her shoes and went to bed, covered herself with a quilt, and fell asleep.Gu Xianzong sat on a chair beside him and looked at him. He felt that he saw another side of A Ye again today, but he didn't want to see this side again in the future.

When Su Ziye woke up, it was already dark. With the faint moonlight, he could barely see that Gu Xianzong was lying on the bedside, and seemed to be asleep.As soon as he sat up, Gu Xianzong woke up and said, "Aye, are you awake?"

Su Ziye wrapped her arms around her legs, put her head on her knees, and said in a muffled voice, "Yes. Thank you, Daoist Gu, today."

Gu Xianzong smiled when he heard the words, got up and lit the candle, then turned back and sat on the bed, "Aye, don't be polite."

The sudden brightness made Su Ziye's eyes uncomfortable. He frowned and blinked constantly.Gu Xianzong noticed his discomfort, and directly blocked his eyes with his hands, even feeling his eyelashes brushing his palms.Gu Xianzong thought about it for a moment, then raised his other hand to support his neck, and slowly slid upwards.

This action instantly brought Su Ziye back to the night he visited Baiwu Temple at night. He was a little embarrassed, his cheeks were reddish, he turned his head slightly, and said, "Gu Daochang?"

After he turned his head, Gu Xianzong immediately withdrew his hands, his expression froze, he coughed twice, and then he returned to normal after a while, and said: "I didn't expect Brother Meng to be so scheming."

After hearing this topic, Su Ziye breathed a sigh of relief.He knew that it was impossible for the two of them not to talk when they were together, but he didn't want to talk about his father and Fengyangmen now. Fortunately, Gu Xianzong only wanted to talk about what happened in Baiwu Temple.He said: "Well, maybe from the very beginning, we were all pawns in his chess game."

From the very beginning, when Meng Yang invited Su Ziye to dinner, he already knew his identity, so he revealed it to Su Ziye, and only after there were wounds on the body was he identified as the murderer of the Su family.

Su Ziye said: "I'm afraid my senior brother and I will go to visit Baiwu Temple at night, and he guessed it, so there are so many people in Meng Yuanfeng's room that night, because Meng Yang predicted that someone would come and make trouble."

Gu Xianzong nodded and said: "In the forest, he deliberately walked to the tree where the corpse was placed and stopped. He also deliberately sang those... I'm afraid it's all to keep us from noticing him so that we can knock down the corpse. "

Su Ziye sighed, and continued: "Moreover, it will only be Meng Yang who detonated the corpse and activated the formation, but we didn't notice that much at the time."

Gu Xianzong said helplessly: "After I came back from the forest, I still wanted to watch him and not let him tell Meng Yuanfeng about this matter. Now that I think about it, he was actually staring at me and not letting me Looking for you, lest you fail to follow his plan and be invited by Meng Yuanfeng to the hall for interrogation."

The two looked at each other and laughed together.

Su Ziye joked: "We are geniuses in the sky, extremely intelligent, the chief disciple of Xuanqingtai, how does it feel to be treated as a pawn?"

Gu Xianzong didn't answer, just smiled and replied: "Then we Yushu Linfeng, a good-looking talent, Fengyangmen's Master Su, how does it feel to be treated as a pawn?"

Su Ziye raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and pretended to be angry and said, "Why did Daoist Gu only praise my appearance when he described me, don't I have other advantages?"

Gu Xianzong replied seriously: "Of course not. Aye has a keen mind, and seeing you fighting against everyone today, I know that your martial arts attainments are not simple. It's just that I am poor at words, and I am not very good at speaking, so I can't express it."

Su Ziye laughed, "Gu Daochang, you actually said that you are 'not good at talking', you underestimate yourself too much. Gu Daochang obviously said that, if you are a woman, then I will definitely marry you."

Gu Xianzong was silent, he stared at the candle without saying a word, his expression was a little cold.

Su Ziye stopped laughing, felt a little embarrassed, rubbed his forehead and said, "Well...don't blame the Daoist, I was joking."

Gu Xianzong remained silent.Su Ziye's heart turned cold, and he thought: "Could it be that I misunderstood it before, but Daoist Gu only wanted to practice Taoism, and he only regarded me as a close friend? So... he was so angry when he heard the joke about marrying him? "

Su Ziye forced himself to throw away all the messy thoughts, tried hard to gather his mind, and changed the topic: "I guess Meng Yuanfeng will know my identity, and it was Brother Meng who told him. But, I don't know what to give to Meng Yuanfeng. Who is the mysterious person who made the prescription and set up the formation..."

Gu Xianzong finally spoke, "No matter who it is, who worked hard to help Meng Yuanfeng design such an overall situation, he will definitely not give up easily. I'm afraid... the incident at Baiwuguan is just the beginning."

Su Ziye thought about it seriously, and said slowly: "And he still has the medicine maker's prescription in his hand, which is a big hidden danger. In the hall today, I was really afraid that Meng Yuanfeng would stimulate the effect of the medicine. If Gu Daochang If I become a medicine man, I'm afraid I will go crazy..."

He stopped talking suddenly, carefully observed Gu Xianzong's face, and added softly: "I made a slip of the tongue."

At this time, there was a "knock knock" knock on the door.Gu Xianzong got up and opened the door. The shop's second clerk stood outside the door with a steaming bathtub and said, "Guest is awake? I saw that there was candlelight in your room, so I came up. The hot water and meals you ordered earlier Everything is ready, look, do you eat first, or take a bath first?"

Gu Xianzong let the second boy in, and said in a warm voice: "Thank you little brother. Let's take a bath first. After half an hour, I will trouble the second brother to bring the food." After finishing speaking, he took some coins and handed them to the waiter.

Xiaoer's brows were filled with joy, he quickly left the room, and said courteously: "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you two to rest."

Seeing this, Su Ziye got up and went to bed, "The Taoist priest wants to take a bath?"

Gu Xianzong shook his head, took his arm, took out another exquisite medicine bottle from his arms, and said softly: "This is Xuanqingtai's 'Ice Alum Muscle-Growing Lotion', you were hurt by Meng Yuanfeng's true energy." , it’s best to use this after bathing.”

Su Ziye looked down at the bloodstains on the white clothes, and then remembered that he was still wounded, "Thank you, Daoist Gu." He uncorked the medicine bottle, sniffed it carefully, and took out a little more. On the index finger, slowly rubbed it down, and said to himself: "Dry alum, gallnut, catechu, plum ice... It seems that there are still a few thin leaves, um, this thin leaf is really used just right, how come I never used it before? Never thought of it."

He suddenly realized that he was doing this, as if he was spying on the good medicines of other sects. Su Ziye rubbed his forehead and said, "Uh...Don't blame me, Daoist.

Gu Xianzong looked soft, and said: "It's okay, my uncle will definitely like Aye very much."

Su Ziye became interested, took off his clothes, and said: "Gu Daochang's uncle must be a medical genius, if there is a chance, he must learn from his senior."

Gu Xianzong raised his head with a smile, and wanted to say something more, but happened to meet Su Ziye's naked upper body.Suddenly his eyes widened, he only looked at it for a moment, and immediately turned his back to him.

Su Ziye didn't notice it, she sat in the tub with her upper body on her back, scooped up some hot water with one hand, and gently sprinkled it on the wound.Hearing the sound of water behind him, Gu Xianzong felt confused, walked out of the room quickly, closed the door with a "bang", and said nervously: "I'll wait for you downstairs."

Su Ziye felt a little confused. He has practiced medicine for many years and has seen countless patients' bodies.He lived in the village for another three years, and the conditions in the village were harsh. How could there be such a large bath tub to use. In summer, he would often bathe by the river with the villagers.He thought to himself: "Could it be that Xuanqing Terrace still has a family rule that people can't bathe?"

……

When Su Ziye went downstairs, he saw Gu Xianzong sitting at a table, thinking to himself: "Xuanqing Terrace is worthy of the first school of cultivating immortals, and the disciples are all so rigorous." What he didn't know was that, Gu Daochang silently recited the Qingxin formula countless times in his heart before he calmed down.

Su Ziye sat down opposite him, and said with a smile, "'Bing Alum Shengji Lotion' is indeed a good medicine. After I used it, the wound felt much better."

Inexplicably, the image of A Ye taking the medicine appeared in Gu Xianzong's mind, he quickly shook his head, coughed a few times, "Well... as long as it works."

Seeing the two guest officers coming out, the waiter in the shop went up to greet them and said enthusiastically: "The two guest officers have come out? Will the food be served now, or will it be delivered after the two of you return to your room?"

Su Ziye hadn't eaten anything all day, now she felt hungry and said, "Let's eat here."

The second child retreated in response, and after a while, the table was full of dishes.Su Ziye has been living a relatively frugal life since leaving Fengyangmen. Looking at this table of dishes, she felt a little helpless, "Gu Daochang, did you order a little...too much..."

Gu Xianzong said warmly: "Because I don't know what Aye likes to eat, I ordered some."

Su Ziye paused for a while holding the chopsticks, and returned to normal for a moment, deliberately teasing Gu Xianzong: "I don't like to eat these. I like osmanthus honey cake, but osmanthus must be taken from the flower tips in early autumn. One pistil on top; lotus partridge soup, but it must be simmered slowly for several hours, the partridge meat must not be old, and the soup must not be greasy; camphor tea duck, the duck must be smoked and roasted just right, and the tea must be cooked Er and Longjing. ; There is also crab roe tofu, the soup cannot be collected, and the crab roe can only be taken from the female crab of Dongting Lake.”

Although these dishes are common, the requirements for the ingredients are too strict. I'm afraid that the imperial dining room in the palace can't be so delicate.

Gu Xianzong listened carefully and laughed, "Aye is really good at eating, I will write this down."

Seeing what he said was serious, Su Ziye waved his hand, sneered and said, "It's funny. The key to what you like to eat depends on who you eat with. If you are with someone I like, even if you only eat a portion of rotten noodle soup, then Rotten noodle soup will be my favorite food too."

Gu Xianzong nodded, "Ah Ye is right, delicious delicacies are not worth the warmth and soft words."

At this time, there was a sound of "bang bang" outside the inn, and colorful lights flashed outside the window, which was the first strange firework in Huaijin.Su Ziye looked sideways, and in the sound of fireworks blooming, she missed Gu Xianzong's soft words, "This table is my favorite food."

The shop's second child went to the door of the inn and shouted: "Oh, the fireworks show has begun!"

Gu Xianzong looked at Su Ziye's appearance and asked, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"

Su Ziye came back to his senses, and said a little embarrassedly: "No... I don't like these things very much. When I was naughty when I was young, I once threw a firecracker in my senior brother's fish pond, which blew up his fish. My senior brother knew After that, when I fell asleep every day, I set off firecrackers and fireworks in front of my room, which lasted for a whole month... To be honest, I hear these sounds now, and I still feel a little..."

Gu Xianzong laughed out loud, "I didn't expect that Aye was a naughty child before, but today Meng Yang also said that you dig out chicken coops and steal fruits..."

Su Ziye shook his head helplessly, "The Taoist priest please forgive me, don't mention it again."

Gu Xianzong nodded according to his words, changed the subject and said, "Where do you want to go after Aye, do you want to go back to Fengyangmen?"

Su Ziye said: "I want to go back, but I still have to go to Yuyan Snow Mountain first. The Taoist priest made an agreement with me, so don't go back on your word."

Gu Xianzong deliberately said coldly: "Obviously Aye himself broke the contract first, but still let me keep it?"

Su Ziye was stunned, and only then remembered that he had already used his internal strength today, and was speechless for a while.

Gu Xianzong continued to keep his voice cold, and said solemnly: "So, if Aye wants me to keep the contract, he needs to agree to another condition."

Su Ziye: "Teacher, please tell me."

Gu Xianzong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "After returning from Yuyan Snow Mountain, Master Su needs to invite me to Fengyang Gate as a guest."

"..."

Su Ziye smiled and said, "Okay, it's a deal!"
