Beauty crowns the world [Rebirth]

Chapter 5 Thousands of Lights at Night ([-])

Jiang Qihe took the initiative to talk to Lu Yunshen, and Lu Yunshen was naturally happy, even his eyes lit up.But this time, he did not accept Jiang Qihe's proposal.

Lu Yunshen looked away from the mask, turned his head to look at the person beside him, and said in a serious tone, "After taking off the mask, how can there be any reason to put it back on?"

"What?" Jiang Qihe raised his eyebrows lightly. Lu Yunshen's words were like rubbing against a stone on a calm lake, leaving circles of ripples, making it hard for people to turn a blind eye. "Listen to you, you have worn a mask before. But then it was taken off again? Are you from Xie Ye City?"

"I—" Lu Yun's dark eyes showed a bit of confusion, his fingers clinging to the handle of the umbrella tightened, and his bones and joints showed a trace of whiteness.

He opened his eyes and looked around. The stilted buildings were built along the river, the long street was pattered by light rain, and the branches were full of flowers. Slate seams.

There was a special musical sound in the wind and rain. It was played by the unique qin of Xieye City. This qin uses porcelain pieces of different lengths and thicknesses as strings. When it is struck, the sound is like high mountains and flowing water. It is called a water qin. .

Colorful umbrellas passed by, and children with half-masks covering their faces played barefoot under the trees.

The atmosphere here is open, and the clothes are not as conservative as in the cities of the Central Plains. They are short and tight, exposing arms and ankles.The girls walked through the streets arm in arm, laughing out loud and unabashedly.

Lu Yunshen not only asked himself in his heart: Am I really from Xieye City?Am I really like them, who once wore a mask to hide my true face?

If so, why take off the mask?

If not, why would you blurt out that kind of words?

Lu Yun fell into a deep daze, but Jiang Qihe beside him smiled, stretched his hand past him, and picked up the mask that this man had stared at for a long time just now.

This is a very ordinary mask, the color is silver and black, there is no pattern, and the style is simple.Sweeping on the street, about half of the people wearing masks chose this one.

After paying the money, Jiang Qihe touched Lu Yunshen's shoulder, making the man face him, and then put the mask on Lu Yunshen's face.

The size of the mask was just right, and it completely covered the upper half of Lu Yunshen's face, only revealing his dark eyes.

Jiang Qihe brushed Lu Yunshen's hair again, pulled it into a high ponytail and hung it behind his head.He stared at Lu Yunshen like this for a long time, and at the end, he let out a "hiss".

"I have a toothache right now." Jiang Qihe took three steps back, raised his hand to give Lu Yunshen a "stop" gesture, and turned into the nearby restaurant.

The footsteps were a little flustered.

When the restaurant clerk saw a customer coming to the door, he came over with a smile on his face and offered a list of signature dishes. Jiang Qihe ordered a bowl of beef noodles perfunctorily, and began a long and endless melancholy.

He finally knew why Lu Yunshen always said that the two of them knew each other a long time ago, because they really knew each other a long time ago, earlier than Shen Wang and Bai Wuxin.

But at that time, the young Lu Yunshen was wearing a mask that was said to be impossible to remove unless he got married, but now, the faces of the people who came to meet each other were clean without even a mole.

Oh, I can recognize a fart.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qihe not only had a toothache, but also a liverache from anger.

What the hell is this, old friends recognize each other, shouldn't they act like old friends?If he hadn't come to Xieye City and bought a mask to cover the man's face, I'm afraid he would never remember this in his life.

Also, if you take off your mask, doesn't that mean you are married? Why are you still hooking me up and pestering me?Damn stuff!not human!

Jiang Qihe cursed angrily in his heart.

There were not many diners at this hour, and the beef noodles were served quickly.Large pieces of meat are piled on the top layer, green onion and coriander are spread out, the red oil is bright, and the fragrance is attractive.

Jiang Qihe took out a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube to mix the noodles, then lifted a pinch vigorously, and ate it forcefully.

He scolded in his heart while eating, and every word and every sentence was not repetitive, without realizing that he was like an abandoned woman who had been cheated of his feelings.

At this time, Lu Yunshen, who was obediently standing in front of the mask booth, frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.He raised his eyes and glanced at the restaurant. After thinking twice, he put away the umbrella and walked in quickly.

The beef in Jiang Qihe's bowl was completely eaten, and there was only a small ball of noodles left, which was half covered with the vegetables in the soup base, and would be destroyed at any time.

When Lu Yunshen sat across from Jiang Qihe, the chopsticks that were poking vegetables on the man's chopsticks jerked violently. Immediately, he pretended to be calm and picked up a sandwich instead.

"Ahe, did you find anything?" Lu Yunshen said softly.

"Hehe." Jiang Qihe remained expressionless.

Lu Yunshen leaned closer: "Ahe?"

Jiang Qihe put down his chopsticks with a snap, and stretched out his hand to call the guy who had been peeking over here, "Brother, tell me, do you have to get married before you can take off your mask in Xieye City?"

"Yes, but you can usually take it off on the day you get married." Although he was a little puzzled, the man still answered truthfully.

Jiang Qihe thanked him, added two taels of pear flower wine by the way, then turned to look at Lu Yunshen, "Did you hear what he just said?"

Lu Yunshen was a little confused, and looked back at Jiang Qihe without knowing why: "I heard it."

"So, you, Xieye City man, without a mask, stay away from me." Jiang Qihe glared at him.

"Ah?" Lu Yun stared deeply.

"Oh shit, the first time I saw you you were wearing a mask, and you said you couldn't take it off if you weren't married, but the second time you took off the mask at the Wind and Cloud Conference." Jiang Qihe rolled his eyes angrily, "Don't say you're halfway I lost my memory again, forgot that I came from Xieye City, so I just flew the obstructive thing on my face."

Lu Yunshen was still a bit confused at first after being told all over his head, but then he realized something, raised his hand to wrap around Jiang Qihe's hand pointing at him, and said in a soft voice, "Ahe, you remember the first time we met. La?"

Jiang Qihe slapped his paw away expressionlessly, "I remembered, and I also remembered that you are a scum."

"No." Lu Yunshen shook his head vigorously, "How can I marry someone else? There must be some other reason for taking off the mask."

"Oh, then tell me." Jiang Qihe said with a straight face and a straight tone.

Lu Yun fell into deep thought.

He flexed and released his fingers, and gradually raised his eyelids under Jiang Qihe's lackluster gaze: "I can't think of anyone else except you. Because after I met you, I couldn't see anyone else."

This kind of answer is really surprising - caught off guard.

Jiang Qihe hissed again, goose bumps all over his body.He quietly moved aside, not facing Lu Yunshen.

"You Xieye City is really open to the people." Jiang Qihe lowered his eyes and muttered softly.

"That's right!" the guy who served the wine interjected, "It's not good if it's not open. These days, daughters-in-law basically rely on robbery."

"..." Jiang Qihe almost didn't bring it up, and said to Lu Yun with a dark face, "It seems that you are quite tactful."

"Although the custom here is to take off the mask after getting married, there are also many people who don't abide by it after leaving the Night City. This guest officer, don't be too horny." The man said again.

Jiang Qihe gritted his teeth silently, feeling very dissatisfied.

Who is eating and drinking at your place?Is it the man across the street?Don't you want to do business by speaking for him?

But the guy's heart was towards the people in his hometown, and when pouring the wine, he specially filled a glass for Lu Yunshen and handed it to him.

Jiang Qihe rolled his eyes and asked the waiter to remove the beef noodles in front of him. He took a sip from the wine glass and found that the pear blossom wine was too strong, as if directly mixed with a burning knife. The taste was unimaginable.

All right, Jiang Qihe felt that he had seen through the mundane world of life.

Every time he tasted something that was not to his taste, Jiang Qihe would frown subconsciously. He should have never noticed this habit, but Lu Yunshen could figure it out clearly.

The person opposite immediately walked around and sat beside him, took the wine glass aside, and said softly and sincerely, "Ah He, it's really not what you think, I only like you, and I only want to marry you. "

Lu Yunshen didn't take off the mask that Jiang Qihe had put on his face, the upper half of the young man's face was covered, only the pupils with tiny rays of light were exposed.

The pitch-black eyes stared intently at Jiang Qihe, like a pair of stars twinkling only for him.

This kind of Lu Yunshen overlapped with the boy in his memory, piercing through the clouds and mist lingering in the old memory, Jiang Qihe blinked and returned to the long street.

Chuyue Town, Yinfeng Street, the name is very poetic, but the first encounter between the two has a smell of blood.

The dust rolled around, and the meeting with broken knives and broken sticks—they had a fight.

In the early spring of that year, an epidemic broke out in Chuyue Town, and Jiang Mian was unfortunately infected.

When Jiang Qihe found out, the entire town of Chuyue was almost robbed of medicinal materials for treating the epidemic, except for a pharmacy surnamed Chen who still had a pack left.

Jiang Qihe walked in happily, but he didn't expect someone to rush out to grab him.He got angry immediately, and couldn't help but throw a piece of wooden stick at him. The opponent was not a soft persimmon, so he pulled out the broken knife on his back and confronted him head-on.

That year, Master Lu and Uncle Jiang were very young, and the two bean sprouts fought together, only seeing each other and each other's weapons, and only thinking about knocking out each other's teeth, which soon gave others something to take advantage of Machine—the only medicinal material was bought by the aunt who entered the door later.

As a result, both Jiang Qihe and Lu Yunshen suffered losses, and no one could please them.

But after all, Jiang Qihe has gone through a whole life, he is not a real kid, and he has seen Jiang Mian's sickness, and after a closer look, he recognizes that Lu Yunshen is also infected with the plague, but it is still in the early stages, and he is alive and kicking.

They all came to buy medicine to save their lives. Others cherished other people's lives, but he cherished Jiang Mian's life. No one could blame anyone.

After figuring this out, Jiang Qihe pulled Lu Yunshen who had been knocked to the ground by him, and his anger dissipated.

He asked a few words casually, and the young man who was not deeply involved in the world explained his family background completely. For example, he is from Xieye City, and the mask on his face cannot be removed until he is married. He came to Shaozhou to learn art from a teacher. .

"Apprenticeship requires money. Do you have that much money?" Jiang Qihe teased casually.

"I can make money." The young man surnamed Lu replied stiffly.

"Get your life back first." Jiang Qihe said to him, "In a few days, you won't be as good as you are now. You will have a high fever, talk nonsense, throw up whatever you eat, and you won't even be able to drink water."

How did Lu Yunshen answer him at that time?

Lu Yunshen said, "Then buy the medicine before that time comes; if you can't buy it, go grab it. In short, I will try my best to survive."

Jiang Qihe smiled at him, noncommittal.

Unconvinced, the young man held the broken knife in his arms, raised his face, and said stubbornly: "Someone in your family is also infected with the plague, right? Let's make a bet, I will get the share you want too."

The setting sun was setting behind him, the afterglow filled the ground, and the long street seemed to be burning, dazzling and dazzling.

Jiang Qihe stood three feet away for a long time, and finally asked softly, "What are you betting on?"

"Just bet on my life." Lu Yunshen lifted his chin and spoke simply.

Jiang Qihe did not agree to the bet, he took the child home and treated him to a meal.

There is no good dish, just a handful of wild vegetables and a few potatoes and carrots mixed in a pot and cooked.

After eating, Lu Yunshen left with the broken knife on his back, and Jiang Qihe also went to the street, continuing to pat the door of the medicine shop, the result can be imagined.

In the middle of the moon, Jiang Qihe returned home with a gray nose, and suddenly found that there were more medicinal residues in the flowerpot outside the window.

He pushed the door open, and saw Jiang Mian, who was supposed to be unconscious, was sleeping very soundly.

That young man from Xieye City, wearing a mask to hide his true face, actually kept his word.

The blood and pain at the moment of first meeting reconciled in the afterglow of the setting sun, and quietly turned into tenderness when the moonlight was like water.

When Lu Yunshen carefully hooked his finger, Jiang Qihe withdrew from the torrent of memories.

He tilted his head to look at Lu Yunshen who was beside Ku Rongjian, and suddenly said: "You never told me your name before, if you had told me earlier, I should have recognized you at the Wind and Cloud Conference that year."

The tip of Lu Yunshen's brows slowly raised, and then fell down lightly, with the last trace of a bitter smile in his eyes, "Ahe, have you forgotten a line of poetry you made up indiscriminately?"

"What do you remember to write?" Jiang Qihe glared.

The white-haired boy lowered his gaze, and his eyes fell on Jiang Qihe's hand that was waiting for the Primordial Ring, and then inserted his fingers one by one into the gap between his five fingers, and clasped it.

"Wild cranes live on the banks of the river, and the clouds hang deep on the flat land."

Lu Yunshen read this poem slowly, then paused, and continued, "I didn't have a name at first, but when I met you, you made a random poem, and I used it as my name."

Jiang Qihe's eyelashes trembled violently, subconsciously wanting to withdraw his hand, but Lu Yunshen held it even tighter.

This person's hands are dry and warm, and the strength is actually very gentle, but there is an indescribable feeling.

Shock welled up in my heart, but it soon became a bit sour, and finally it gradually became complicated, mixing into an inexplicable emotion.

The person in front of him seemed to be exactly as he said, watching his back and chasing after him.

Even the name is taken from a sentence he said casually.

Such a person, how can he not be soft-hearted?

Jiang Qihe looked at the jade crown on Lu Yunshen's hair, and a question arose in his heart.

"When did you cultivate the way of ruthlessness?" Jiang Qihe asked without much hesitation.

Lu Yunshen's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer right away.

"Say." Jiang Qihe's voice sank.

After a long while, Lu Yunshen with his head down said, "500 years ago."

Jiang Qihe's heart shuddered.

There are countless ways to practice, the ruthless way has existed since ancient times, and it is the way to reach the sky, but there are very few people who practice it, and there is no other reason, just because of the word "human".

Ten feet of the world of mortals, flashy and confused, people born from this world have thousands of kinds of emotions, greed, anger, and ignorance can't be thrown away, and the fetters of involvement are even more difficult to break.

Few people can truly be ruthless in the great way, but Lu Yun went deep into the door, cultivated the high-heaven Brahma body, and cultivated the voice of the Supreme.

It was precisely 500 years ago, at such a time, if it had nothing to do with him, Jiang Qihe, I really wouldn't believe it.

"Actually, I died in Xuyuan not long after I entered it." After a long silence, Lu Yunshen refused to raise his head, and Jiang Qihe sighed, "Death is like a long sleep, 500 years in the blink of an eye. But the blink of an eye For a moment, the moment I saw you, the only thing I could think of was 'the morning is like blue silk and the evening is snow'."

"Lu Yunshen, why are you so stupid?"

The stupidest fool in the world will give where others can't see.The most stupid fool in the world will guard without hesitation when he has not received any promises.

The most stupid fool in the world, Hanging Sword Villa Kurongjian Lu Yunshen.

"I'm not stupid." Lu Yunshen raised his eyes, and there was a hint of helplessness between the brows.

He didn't explain the superfluous words, for example, if he hadn't switched to the ruthless way at that time, there would be no more Lu Yunshen in the Jianghu, and there would be no possibility of meeting him at this time.

Jiang Qihe sighed again, "It's what you say."

Jiang Qihe divided the million gold he got the day before yesterday into four, but Lu Yunshen refused and accepted it reluctantly.

Seeing that Jiang Qihe had no intention of continuing to sit here, he immediately paid the bill first, then went to the door and opened the umbrella, waiting for Jiang Qihe to come out.

Chen Yi led the horse and stood in the long street, Ah Lu crouched under his umbrella.

Looking to the west, the Wushan Mountain is hidden behind the rain and fog, and its outline is blurred, making it hard to see clearly.
