The white-haired man bowed slightly to him, and said respectfully: "I am Liu Si, the housekeeper of this house. I also invite the master to come and meet the servants with me. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time."

"No, no, no." Yao Ximu waved his hands and quickly denied, "I'm not your master, I'm just here to find Hoshino."

"It's you." Liu Sxiao pulled him slightly: "Mr. Lu told me before leaving. As long as you show up, you will be the new owner of Lianhuawu. The land and property in Lianhuawu are all yours."

Yao Ximu feels that talking to him is not the point. He doesn't want to know what kind of dock this is, and he doesn't care how much property he owns, how many fields he has, and how many servants he has. He just wants to know if Yu Xingye is waiting for him here .He was anxious, his feet fluttered, and he couldn't walk steadily on the green chiselled bricks and stones. He staggered and fell, with a look on his face that was about to cry. He grabbed Liu Si's sleeve and said, "Take me to see you quickly." he."

"This..." Liu Si didn't expect him to react so strongly, so he bent down to help him up, and said softly, "Master Lu is not here."

Yao Ximu closed his eyes, feeling the mighty wind blowing in front of him, and his heart became empty again.He took a step forward, walked forward step by step, and said: "He asked me to come, why is he not here? Where would he be? Where did he go?" Liu Si looked at his side face, Seemingly feeling his loss and pain, he said slowly: "Mr. Lu left one thing, saying that if the new owner refuses to stay, he will give it to him."

"What is it?"

"Please come with me." Without hesitation, Liu Si led Yao Ximu up a path covered with moss, meandering through a door with hanging flowers, bypassing a large screen wall, and entering the main room.The interior of the house is elegantly furnished, with a Boshan stove set on a large red sandalwood table, and Ma Yuan's "Lonely Fishing in the Cold River" hanging on the wall.Liu Si walked indoors, and carried a jade box from the carved shelf beside her.

"What the hell is it?" Yao Ximu tilted his head, inexplicably remembering the pile of human-leather masks of Jin Mahayana.

Liu Si smiled and said: "I don't know, Mr. Lu said that it is reserved for the new owner, and only you can open it."

Now that he said so, Yao Ximu was no longer polite, opened the box and saw that there was another stack of papers inside.Another deed?Yao Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry at dusk. After looking at the first picture carefully, the smile froze on his face. This is the house in Pipa Alley, East of Baiyi Street, Jinling.

Yao Ximu's childhood home.

When Yu Xingye gave it to him, Yao Ximu didn't accept it. Now that he saw it, he really didn't understand what Yu Xingye wanted.In addition to this house, there are two houses in Jinling, one in Luoyang, one in Hangzhou, and one in Jinguan City.There are also banks, pawnshops and other industries.

Holding the box in his hand, Yao Ximu became a rich man unexpectedly.

He hoped that there were other things in the box other than belongings. After searching the box, he finally found a small wax ball in the box. When he opened it, he found a letter inside, which was written by Yu Xingye himself.

Yao Yao Ruhe

It's a great pity that I couldn't greet you personally when you came here from afar.The house deed and other things are attached with the letter as an apology.Where you were young, waiting for your arrival.If you have pity on me, you should come here and tell me.Wangan.

"What do you mean?" Yao Ximu murmured, with a long-lost lively light in his eyes, "He wants me to go to Jinling to find him again?"

After reading the letter three or four times, Yao Ximu confirmed what Yu Xingye meant, and then showed the letter to Liu Si.Liu Si helped to confirm: "It should be like this, Mr. Lu may be waiting for you there."

"What's this for? Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?" Yao Ximu smiled and put away the house deed and letter paper, carefully putting them into his purse.He hadn't rested much since he came, and he wasn't too tired, but now it was like the wind, making a noise to leave, Liu Siwan couldn't stay, so he specially chose a good horse for him, and let him ride on the road.

There was dawn in Yao Ximu's eyes, and he rushed back to Jinling in a hurry.

Yao Ximu has many happy memories of the old house where he lived when he was young, but these happy memories were all painted with blood because of that dark night, so that when he licked the old happiness, he had to lick the hatred The tip of the knife is sweet and uncomfortable, and the pain is not pure.

Now that the vengeance has been avenged, Yao Ximu still couldn't help shivering when he approached here.He knocked on the door, and the "creak" sound of the door opening made his heart pound, as if it was going to jump out of his chest. He thought that he would be able to see the familiar face with a half-smile the next moment.But the person who opened the door this time was someone he knew very well, but it wasn't Yu Xingye.

—— Chikusa.

Chicao is wearing no powder, wearing a white dress, and her voice is as sweet and seductive as ever: "You are here, come in."

Yao Ximu couldn't help poking behind her, with an urgent voice, like a galloping horse kicking over: "Where is he?"

"Look for him as soon as you come." Qian Cao looked displeased: "Look at your dusty body, like a beggar, I will tell you when you have had enough rest, come here."

Yao Ximu ate his meal restlessly, and Qiancao ordered someone to carry the boiled bath water to his room, and arranged for him to take a bath and have a good sleep.Yao Ximu really wanted to see Yu Xingye, so he grabbed Qiancao and said, "My dear sister, tell me, where is he? I want to see him."

Qian Kusa picked out new clothes for him, giggled and said, "Why do you want to see him? You can't wait."

Yao Xi was dumbfounded, and thought for a while, but his thoughts were confused and his speech was slow: "I want to cook for him for the rest of his life."

"There is a cook for cooking, why should you do it?"

"Cook..." Yao Ximu had a vague smile on his face, "Can I be the cook?"

"You're in love with him, aren't you?"

Yao Ximu didn't speak, nor shook his head to deny it. After a long time, his eyes turned and he said to Qiancao: "This is between us. Tell me where he is, and I will tell him personally."

Qian Cao suppressed her smile, walked to the window, turned her head to look at Yao Ximu, and said slowly: "You once had an agreement, after Taishi Yu subdued, he needs you to do something, and you agreed to him."

Yao Ximu nodded, "Yes."

"I'll tell you everything now." Qiancao stopped looking at him, and said to herself: "Yu Xingye's name is Lu Xingye, and his mother, also my master Lu Qianyin, is the No. 30 sixth-generation leader of Qionglang Sect." , the master was amazingly talented, but it was a pity that he was born at an untimely time. The Qionglang Sect encountered the difficulty of overthrowing the teaching, and the congregation fled in all directions. She fled to Jinling with the guardians of the left and right sides, secretly summoned scattered old people, and took over the position of leader at the age of 14. .”

Qian Kusa tried her best to maintain a calm tone, but she didn't last long, her voice trembled: "Master has a clever plan, and quickly established an information network in Jinling, and wants to use various channels to gather all the old people scattered everywhere. Come back. I can’t go back to the old place of Nanzhao, but the treasure is still there. As long as you open the treasure, you don’t have to worry about the capital to make a comeback. It’s a pity that the master was young at that time. Although he was talented, he was an ignorant girl. In a moment of confusion, she fell into the trap of Yu Changan's dog thief, got her body dirty, and had a child. She thought Yu Changan would help her, but she didn't know that Yu Changan coveted the treasure, and turned to deal with the Qionglang Sect. In the name of eradicating the rebellious party, many people were killed."

"Master originally didn't want to give birth to this child, but she has a special constitution. If she had an abortion, she would definitely die. She gave birth to this child in desperation. She suffered from dystocia during childbirth, thanks to Zuo Hufa who rescued her." Chicao paused slightly: "Guardian Zuo is your grandmother."

Yao Ximu sighed: "I see."

Chikusa continued: "Master's vitality was severely injured after giving birth, and his body and spirit were not as good as before. After he got better, he wanted to assassinate Yu Chang'an, but Yu Chang'an was demoted from Jinling and went to a far away place to be an official. Master hated him to the bone , but instead of rushing to kill him, he taught his son to revive the sect and avenge the dead congregants. The master made proper arrangements before his death, including how to conceal his true identity and send him to the grand master's residence. Yu Chang'an knew that he was his son, but he never knew that his mother was my master." Qiancao sneered: "After all, he is a flirtatious man, although he is very masculine, there are also a few women who have had sex with him , he himself can't remember."

Yao Ximu closed his eyes, gropingly retreated to the chair and sat down. He covered his face with his hands, and said with a sigh: "I guessed it a long time ago, but I just haven't confirmed it yet."

Hoshino is so familiar with the pain of living with hatred, he once said that he is an unfaithful and unfilial person.The problem that was bothering Yao Ximu was solved easily, and deep sympathy filled his heart. He thought: Hoshino's mother didn't want him to be born, and after he was born, he was trained by his mother to be a sword-like tool for revenge. The enemy turned out to be his own father.I only know that I am suffering, but I don't know that there are so many sufferings in this world, my elder brother is suffering, and Hoshino is also suffering.

At this time, Qiancao turned to face him, "Now that the great revenge has been avenged, the only way to revive our sect is to revive our sect. The members of our sect are scattered everywhere, and they are no different from ordinary people. He has already prepared for a rainy day and sent all those who refused to leave When we arrived at Lianhuawu in Gusu, we hoped to break away from the name of the Qionglang Sect, and we all started a new life by fishing together."

Having said that, Qiancao saw Yao Ximu sighed strangely and shortly, but didn't say anything, she understood it all, and said: "He gave you Lianhuawu and made you the owner of Lianhuawu. He wants what you do."

"I don't know what to do, I just want to see him."

As if the rope was stretched too tight and suddenly relaxed, Yao Ximu sat in the chair without moving for a long time, thinking aimlessly: Yu Xingye arranged everything, but he himself disappeared, he left, Where did he go?

Yao Ximu asked Qian Cao without thinking: "Where can I see him?"

Qian Kusa answered him without thinking: "Lonely smoke in the desert, sunset in the long river."

Yao Ximu felt the blood in his whole body rushing to his head, and the scene when Yu Xingye smiled and said that he was going to take him to see Desert Dust appeared before his eyes again, two lines of hot tears finally slowly overflowed from his eyes.

Chikusa walked out of the room.

The loss and stagnation in Yao Ximu's heart gradually dissipated, as if a huge hammer had been removed, and he gradually calmed down. He was no longer as rash and impatient as when he came here, and something vibrant returned to him .He took a shower, changed into clean clothes, had a good night's sleep, and set off for the outside of the pass the next day.

Outside Yanmen Pass, there is continuous wind and sand, the sky is blue and the clouds are white.

The air is dry and fresh, and the scenery beyond the Great Wall is completely different from Jiangnan.Yao Ximu came here for the first time, and found everything new and interesting.He simply stayed in the desert for a while, saw the sand like snow in the desert, and saw the red sunrise like fire.One day, he followed a group of camel merchants to a restaurant. At night, everyone went to rest separately.Yao Ximu was tossing and turning in bed, his mind was like a passenger ship in the Yangtze River, passengers were getting on and off at any time, and he couldn't let go.

He remembered a lot of things, maybe it was too far away from the place where it happened, and the vivid and unforgettable feelings in his memory were all blurred.

The unbearable pain, the gratification, and the ecstasy, all seem to be separated by a hazy layer of veil.

Yao Ximu was originally optimistic by nature, but at this time it seemed like he had realized everything—in fact, there is nothing he can't let go of, and if he can't let it go, it will fade away naturally after a long time.But at this moment, he is still persistent and troubled by insomnia.

He wanted to sleep very much and didn't want to suffer from insomnia, but his mind kept spinning. He had no choice but to get himself drunk.He ran to the top of the building with two jars of wine, looked at the crooked moon, and drank it in big gulps, with a very heroic posture.Da Mo's wine was very strong, but he drank it really happily, and the wine entered his heart, feeling extremely lonely and lonely.

There is only moonlight for drinking.

He remembered what Wu Jin had said to him a few years ago when he drank to drink away his sorrows: "The word love can confuse the common people. From now on, hide as much as you can, don't act like a teacher."

At that time, I was ignorant and didn't understand what love is, so how could I hide?What's more, it is like a ghost, it doesn't say hello, when it comes, it makes people flustered, it penetrates everywhere, and there is nowhere to hide.Yao Ximu swallowed a big gulp of wine and frowned, feeling as if his mouth was going to burn all the way down his throat.

There was a "creaking" sound, someone went up the stairs, Yao Ximu put down the wine jar, and listened.He clutched his chest, as if trying to restrain his beating heart.He was so excited that he couldn't help but poke his head to look, expecting to meet the person who made him dream.
