Huafa Luoyang

When Xun Luo came back, Zhuang Jiuyao was already lying on the couch, the hot water in the barrel seemed to be newly replaced, and there was a small screen in the middle of the room, on which was painted a picture of fish playing with lotus leaves.

He paused for a moment, and Zhuang Jiuyao's voice came from the other side of the screen: "Since you don't like me, you can't make me appear so ungentlemanly, can you?"

Xun Luo laughed, not knowing how he came to this conclusion.

It's not that I don't like it, so do I like it?

Such a thought flashed by, and Xun Luo suddenly felt some waves in his heart.

After cleaning up, the sky will be dark, the winter is getting deeper, and the days are getting shorter and shorter day by day.

I thought I was very tired, but after taking a bath, I changed into a clean underwear, but Xun Luo's drowsiness fell away, so I picked up a medical book next to the desk, and sat under the candle lamp to flip through it.

It was the first day he came to Luohua, and he bought it when he came back from the trip.Clearly, it was just the most common collection of herbal medicines, but when he picked it up, the stall owner at the alley praised him for his insight.

After paying the bill, he felt surprised, wondering why he wanted to read medical books.

Zhuang Jiuyao was lying on his side looking at him, and suddenly said: "The days are short and the nights are long."

"Do you want to hold a candle?" Xun Luo didn't lift his head.

"I can't swim anymore, I can't swim anymore." He replied lazily, just staring at Xun Luo, seeing him turn over the pages of the book one by one, pausing for a while, as if trying to figure it out.

I don't know how long it took, Xun Luo finally put down the book, raised his head and rubbed the back of his neck, glanced unconsciously, and realized that Zhuang Jiuyao was fast asleep.

He walked over and sat on the edge, looked at him carefully for a while, then pulled off the blanket to cover him up, and lay down himself.

Just as he was about to turn off the lamp, he stretched out his hand and realized that he had no internal energy, so he got up again and blew out the candle.

Jiang Cai groped and lay down, putting one hand around his waist.He gently took it away, but after a while the hand stretched out again, so he didn't move.

Then he closed his eyes with a strange feeling of regret.

A night without words.

In the inn hall early in the morning.

After all, they were young, Zhuang Ning'er and Qi Yun had a rest all night, and they both seemed to be in high spirits.Mi'er has always been like this, she seems to have her own little world, she only opens the window occasionally to let these acquaintances have a look, and nothing will disturb her.

It makes people a little envious.

"Young Master." Zhuang Ning'er saw the two of them coming down together, with a meaningful expression on his face.Zhuang Jiuyao calmly let her watch, and dragged his voice leisurely: "What's wrong?"

Zhuang Ning'er's eyes were still rolling between the two of them, looking at this and then at that, Zhuang Jiuyao slapped her on the forehead, but his eyebrows were bent: "Speak!"

"What are you trying to do?" Zhuang Ning'er glanced at him, then reached out and handed him a letter, "Brother Qingcheng came from there."

"Oh, I'm really upset that I let Qingcheng go to work." Zhuang Jiuyao took the letter paper and sighed, "The female university is not going to stay."

Zhuang Ning'er blushed, didn't bother to pay attention to him, raised her chin and left.After taking two steps, he turned around and pointed at Xun Luo, pointing at Zhuang Jiuyao, pretending to whisper, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the three of them: "That man is a big villain, brother Xun, be careful." Then he said without looking back. Sit down at the table.

Xun Luo couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, took a look at Zhuang Jiuyao, and sat down too.

Zhuang Jiuyao was dazzled by this smile early in the morning. There was no one around him, so he cleared his throat pretending to be serious, and then opened the letter paper in a serious manner.

There was nothing major in the letter, only the situation in Jinling was reported.

The Pingning faction now regards the Shangzhen faction as a thorn in their side, but because of Fang Qin's speech in it, the leader of the martial arts will always look at it no matter how disdainful it is.Besides, the decline of the Shangzhen sect is a foregone conclusion, and Wu Tian said that he would not criticize his sect harshly.

Now, apart from the owner of Medicine King Valley, Song Qiao is added to the most wanted warrants in the entire martial arts world.

During this period, Fang Qin, with the assistance of Ming Qiufeng, the shopkeeper of Huaelou, eliminated several martial arts scum, and his momentum grew even higher.The title of the leader of the martial arts alliance has gradually become solid.

But more people are still watching, wondering how long Fang Qin's three fires will last.

His father-in-law Wu Baixing has worked hard for 20 years to mediate, but he can barely keep the word "balance".When he came up, he dealt with it extravagantly, and coincided with several major events of family extermination. The most indispensable thing in the world is people who make trouble, so naturally there are many people waiting to see his jokes.

But now all kinds of events are happening day by day, and according to Wei Qingcheng, he feels that Fang Qin has grasped the subtle nodes just right.

There were only a few sentences in a short letter, and the one that caught Zhuang Jiuyao's attention the most was: "The things in Sanniang's hand are missing."

Xun Luo didn't know that when Wu Sanniang ran for her life, Doctor Liu Xian rescued her once, and then she met her husband.Later, when they traveled to the middle of Sichuan, they happened to encounter a plague, and the two of them almost died in other places. Zhuang Jiuyao, who was still a young man at that time, rescued her again.

The kindness of the master and the apprentice was superimposed. After Liu Xianyi passed away, Wu Sanniang thought that there was nothing to repay, so she made up her mind to be driven by him.Zhuang Jiuyao didn't want to get involved too much with others, but she knew his identity as the King of Shu by chance, so she proposed that she could exist as an incumbent in the Jianghu.

She and her husband stayed in Jinling not only because of Wu Baixing's protection, but also because she was familiar with this place, so she made Zhuang Jiuyao the most useful eyeliner in the southeast.

Wu Sanniang didn't know that the person she entrusted before her death was actually acquainted with her benefactor, and she didn't know that he was only acquainted with Jiuyao, the king of medicine, Guzhuang, not the king of Shu.

In essence, she was not a member of the King of Shu, but she had the last contact with Wei Qingcheng before she died, and said that she had an account book in her hand, which recorded the specific connections between various sects and the imperial court in the southeast region.If he followed the vine, he might be able to find out those in the imperial court who are now in collusion with Wulin.

Maybe you can still catch big fish.

However, this item was missing, and Wei Qingcheng checked several times to confirm that the item also did not fall into the hands of the prince.That account book seemed to have evaporated in this world.

After reading it, Zhuang Jiuyao put the note into his arms, and sat back at the table with a calm face: "Clean up after eating and let's go."

"Going to Jinling?" Zhuang Ning'er asked.

"Didn't you stop talking to me?" Zhuang Jiuyao glanced at her with a smile, and said when she saw that she was about to get angry again, "No."

Zhuang Ning'er wanted to ask something, but she was angry again, when Qi Yun thought exactly what she thought, and asked for her: "Brother Zhuang, why don't we go to Jinling? Master Song has taken the demon sword, and he must go to find Pingning Sent to settle accounts with the leader Fang."

"He killed other people's wives and children, and he still needs to find someone to settle the score? If he is stupid, you are also stupid? Even if he really wants to go, Jinling is now Fang Qin's territory. What can we do if we go? And there is Shouyan following him , the Daoist might have something to do." Zhuang Jiuyao said in detail, pointing at Zhuang Ning'er, smiling, "Besides, our Qingcheng is also there, don't be afraid."

Zhuang Ning'er glared at him.Xun Luo then added: "Even though Song Qiao did intend to go to Jinling before, no matter whether he wants to die with the Ping Ning faction or not, now that he has the knife, it is very unlikely that he will go."

"Why?" Zhuang Ning'er asked.

Xun Luo and Zhuang Jiuyao looked at each other, and the latter said, "He can't control that knife."

Zhuang Ning'er thought for a moment and asked, "Then where are we going?"

Xun Luo also looked at Zhuang Jiuyao, Zhuang Jiuyao looked back at him: "Go to Nangong's house."

"But Nangong Changyang doesn't see any guests." Zhuang Ning'er said.She had guessed what Zhuang Jiuyao was thinking.

Nangong Changyang ignored world affairs for many years, but when he was in the limelight, he had already appreciated Shouyin very much.I heard that Shouyin was originally an orphan, and it was Nangong Changyang who brought her young to worship under the Shangzhen sect. He is proficient in spells, and the barrier forest under Yunya Peak in Jiugong Mountain may be his handwriting.

Back then at the martial arts conference in Jinling, he and Xun Luo fought together by chance, and rescued Shouyin from Fang Qin's sword.At that time, Xun Luo had already confirmed that the rumors were true, but now hearing Zhuang Jiuyao's words, he knew his plan, and suddenly didn't know how to react.

"I'll see you, we'll talk about it when we go." Zhuang Jiuyao patted Mi'er's head with a smile, and looked up at Xun Luo as if unintentionally. His eyes were very serious, and Xun Luo's heart suddenly felt sore.

"Poor Mi'er, we haven't had a few days to live a peaceful life." Zhuang Ning'er stretched out her hand to smooth out the hair on her temples, "Brother Yun, what do you plan to do?"

Qi Yun was still wondering if what they said had any deep meaning, but when he suddenly asked himself, he said blankly: "I have no plans, just wait for Master to come to me, he said... just follow you."

Zhuang Jiuyao looked at him with a half-smile: "You haven't been by his side these days, is he okay? Are you not afraid that he will go the same way as before? Are you afraid that he will kill someone again?"

Qi Yun was startled, looked at Zhuang Jiuyao with bright black eyes, and lowered his head for a moment: "He said that it won't be like before, and we are ready."

Zhuang Jiuyao still stared at him, Xun Luo was surprised, he didn't understand what was going on with his attitude towards Qi Yun now, it was hot and cold, he could feel the pressure beside him.

Qi Yun was like a child who did something wrong, Xun Luo was about to say something, Zhuang Jiuyao suddenly smiled again: "Forget it, I was meddling in my own business. You have no one to protect you now, if you think that what you did is wrong That's right, as long as you don't harm others, you don't have to care what others think or say. Just be responsible for what you do."

Qi Yun stared at him blankly for a moment, then nodded.

"Eat quickly." Xun Luo patted him on the shoulder.

Now Nangong's family happens to be on the edge of Xianning City, opposite to Jiugong Mountain, on the Fengwu Mountain with infinite scenery, beside Baizhang Lake.

Starting from Luohua is about a day's journey. If there are no accidents on the way, they will be able to reach the foot of Fengwu Mountain after sunset.

A group of people packed their things and set off. It was just at sunrise, and they left the small town from the north, passing by the yard of the old man with peony.

Zhuang Jiuyao couldn't stop looking around, but he didn't see the old man, and the courtyard door was closed tightly. He said regretfully, "It's not lucky, otherwise I'll let you go and have a look before leaving."

"It's okay." Xun Luo's face was calm, but he said in his heart, "Don't you always say that you are lucky?" He also looked at the greenhouse, and vaguely saw a few trees inside through the plum blossom window, all of which were falling leaves.

"It's the same when you come back later," he said.

This "later" seemed to give Zhuang Jiuyao great strength, he smiled and said, "Come later, come later."

After passing the edge of the town, walk along the Luohua River.On the left is the meandering river and cliffs, and on the right is an open flat land.

The sun is getting higher and brighter, and the part of the river that is not covered by the shadows is shimmering. It looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen in the half-light, with a bright smile when she turns her face, and a tender story when she turns her head. Be indifferent.

Looking out again, one can see layers of trees on the mountain in the distance at a glance, with red and yellow sandwiched between green and green, mottled.

A little further away, it is already the top of the iceberg that does not melt all year round. When the sun shines, it looks good even if it is not transparent.

He had already started to walk the mountain road, and his back was warmed by the sun, and the town gradually disappeared, but Zhuang Ning'er still looked back and looked, sighing: "This town is really beautiful."

"Anyway, our family is gone. If you like it, how about you come and settle here in the future?" Zhuang Jiuyao smiled, "There are such beautiful peonies again."

"Okay!" Zhuang Ning'er happily replied, holding Mi'er and humming a song.Qi Yun followed behind them, and the three of them were in good spirits at this time, and they had already run a long way away like they were having fun.

Zhuang Jiuyao turned to Xun Luo again: "How are you?"

Xun Luo has always kept his word, but now he dare not answer him.Whether he will die or not is a question. If he does not die, he must go back to the Heavenly Gate, and it is impossible to escape.

Because of this, he hesitated for a long time, his Adam's apple went up and down a few times and he still didn't speak, Zhuang Jiuyao narrowed his eyes: "Forget it, don't answer, I'm afraid of being disappointed."

"It's not bad." When he was resting under a tree by the roadside, Xun Luo suddenly said.

Zhuang Jiuyao looked at him in surprise, and said to himself, are you still thinking about this topic?He naturally understands the meaning of these words, there are many things in the world that cannot be controlled by oneself.He asked Zhuang Ning'er what he really thought, if she likes it, she can live here with Wei Qingcheng in seclusion in the future, including himself, it doesn't really matter.

So there is nothing to say, just a smile.

After such an abrupt sentence, the two never spoke again.

The master and servant surnamed Zhuang yelled all the way, clearly walking on a mountain road, but he was not too tired to panic.Occasionally mixed with the words "Brother Yun, come and judge", accompanied by Qi Yun's helpless and helpless persuasion, and Mi'er's voice calling "Sister", after sunset, I finally arrived at the foot of Fengwu Mountain.

After all, late autumn has passed, winter is about to enter, and it is near the mountains and near the water. When the wind blows at night, the chill will soak into the skin layer by layer.

They found some dry firewood, built a fire, and leaned against the tree trunk to rest. Not long after they sat down, Mi'er fell asleep in Zhuang Ning'er's arms.Seeing that Qi Yun also started to yawn, Xun Luo said, "Brother Qi and Ning'er, go to bed quickly, Jiuyao and I will keep watch at night."

"Tsk," Zhuang Jiuyao dissatisfied, "I've never stayed overnight."

Qi Yun immediately said: "Brothers, let me guard."

Xun Luo looked at Zhuang Jiuyao, and said calmly, "You don't want to stay with me."

The two looked at each other for a while, Zhuang Jiuyao turned to look at Qi Yun, narrowed his eyes: "Go to sleep!"

This expression looks like a smile, but it seems a little dangerous.Qi Yun weighed it up, nodded obediently and closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

"Really, these kids." Zhuang Jiuyao stretched his waist, "Sleeping and growing up carelessly, it's not like you and me, worrying about your life."

Xun Luo smiled, looked at the fire and said softly, "You go to sleep too, I'll call you in the middle of the night."

Zhuang Jiuyao nodded, put his chin on his knee, but didn't close his eyes, just looked at him straight.Xun Luo didn't look up, and asked, "Look what I'm doing?"

"Don't ask this question," Zhuang Jiuyao raised his head, "Every time you ask me like this, I really think..."

He deliberately didn't finish speaking, waiting to see Xun Luo's reaction.

To his surprise, Xun Luo seemed to be in a daze, and didn't hear his words.After a while, he stood up and pointed to a bush next to him: "I'll go there."

As he said that, he took a step away, Zhuang Jiuyao thought it was convenient for him to go, so he bent his eyes and smiled, the smile was half-hanged but suddenly stopped.

He got up abruptly and followed, and after a distance, he saw Xun Luo lowered his head slightly, half leaning against a tree.

"Ah Xun?" He called softly.

Xun Luo let out a "huh" and asked again: "Are you okay?"

He didn't hear the answer, so he took two steps forward, and Xun Luo shouted in a hoarse voice: "Don't come over!"

"Xun Luo?" Zhuang Jiuyao was startled, and strode forward, grabbing his shoulders to make him turn around.Xun Luo didn't move.

His subordinates did not dare to use force, and after a moment of stalemate, Xun Luo coughed softly, then spoke again, in a cold voice: "Don't touch me."
